Jelly Belly Fun

Just up the road about 15 minutes is a Jelly Belly Factory. For those of you that think Jelly Bellys are just another jelly bean...not so my uneducated sweets. This is the original gourmet jelly bean made famous by then President Ronald Reagan. Did you know they were staples in the White House at that time?

Did you also know that it takes up to 21 days to make a Jelly Belly bean? And there are 50 official flavors. They even have recipes so you can make your own specialties. How about a root beer float or lemon meringue pie?

About This Blog

Welcome! Check out ideas for weekend getaway ideas, learn about the latest travel tips, listen to advice from some of the best travel experts I know, view my photos and secrets from some of my travels.

There are many fascinating places to visit across the U.S. and around the world...and I love every new place I visit. I also love revisiting old favorites. Take a peek at some of the wonderful places I've been fortunate to visit. Then let me know about your favorites. Sometimes photographs don’t do justice to the amazing sites…but I keep trying to get that perfect shot of the Golden Gate Bridge or pelicans flying in formation around the San Diego harbor.

Occasionally, you’ll read about adventures my stay-at-home cat has embarked upon. He finds excitement in some of the strangest places...a shoe box seems to be as exciting as me taking a trip to Venice.

As travel sites change, as new websites pop up, and as fast as the latest and greatest new app appears, I’ll check them out and report back. After all, traveling is more than a hobby…it’s my passion. I learned early on from my dad that travel gives one of the greatest gifts in life…memories.

My name is Wendy VanHatten and I share your love of travel. Please explore this blog, leave your comments, ask questions, and enjoy.
